Greece Police investigated a suspicious package that was brought to their Maiden Lane precinct on Wednesday morning

Sgt. Jared Rene said that a concerned citizen brought the package to the precinct just before 11:30 a.m. after discovering it on a roadside.

"As a result of that, we evacuated the precinct, set up a perimeter around the area and requested the MCSO (Monroe County Sheriff's Office) bomb squad assist us in the investigation," he said.

Shortly after 2 p.m., investigators determined that the package was harmless and likely discarded property.

Chief Patrick Phelan said it turned out to be a toolbox full of tools and wires.

Officials closed Barnard Park, which is adjacent to the precinct location on Maiden Lane. They also evacuated the Greece Ecumenical Food Shelf, located next door to the police precinct. Both re-opened after the investigation was concluded.

Longridge Elementary School, which is also nearby, went into a lockout, which was lifted around 2 p.m. The school serves students in grades K through 5.

Steve Chatterton, director of security for the Greece School District, said this meant business as usual inside the school, but nobody was allowed to leave the building until the incident was resolved.

Parents of students at the school were notified via phone call within minutes of the incident occurring, Chatterton said.

Park & precinct are back open. Package has been deemed to be harmless & likely discarded property. Longridge school no longer on lockout
